Adding Missing Heroes.

[KingCeddd03]

I think it’s time to introduce Thunder Clap or at least show he is a famous hero like War Witch Apex and Statesman. I mean after him working with them and all he would have a lot of fame and connections. I would imagine he continued working with them to this day. The perfect place to put him would be in Recluse’s Victory where Castle is.

Not sure why you moved Castle .he was good where he was at Portal Corp and that would lead to Incandescent being moved back to the war zone where she would have never left, do to she’s the head of the Herald division of Vanguard and is ultimately responsible for public relations as well as liaising with the United Nations. I think her job doing that is more important than training new heroes.

But anyway I believe Thunder Clap time to shine is now and also he could lead a task force dealing with an incarnate-level threat.

 

We also need the final two members of W.i.s.d.o.m. 

Rose Star & Spark Blade in which they too can lead taskforce or become trainers.

Statesman's dead.

Thunderclap is NOT a famous hero. He's a largely inconsequential hero that teamed up with War Witch and Apex in a pre-launch comic produced by Dark Horse (they were bailed out by Statesman). He never appeared in any of the 12 Blue King comics featuring War Witch and Apex.

We never know if he could have teamed up with them again without us knowing.

Thunderclap isn't a famous hero. Nor is he referenced anywhere for anything. This thread is the first time I've ever heard of him.  And to the best of my knowledge, isn't a dev persona. So why should he get a TF or be a trainer? What about the other background heroes and villains we actually do encounter, why not them first?

I see you're here again to pester me as always but to answer your question he did work with statesman, war witch, and apex which gives him more of a spotlight than others.

The guy who worked as a janitor at Statesman's SG "worked with Statesman" too. Doesn't mean that he's famous. Do you know his name? Neither do I.

 

And before this thread I'd never heard of Thunderclap either. So no, he's not a famous hero. I don't care if his secret identity was Statesman's janitor.

[Monos King]

Horus was kind of cool. I'd like an arc with Horus in it, and then also maybe Thunder Clap can be there too. Neither would probably get a big role though.

 

Also I like the idea of seeing more of Wisdom, even though they were really only some kind of geographical release bait.

Isn't Horus dead?

So did almost all of my characters and several others. So did several detectives and other background characters. So why shouldn't they get their own TFs too then by that reasoning? If a character is a minor character, and in this case I would argue Thunderclap isn't even a minor character if he only showed up in the pre-launch comic as was stated earlier in this thread, then I don't see a reason to have them give out a TF.

 

Edit: For that matter, why would you launch a TF from a PvP zone?

My point is that having the corpse of Statesman offering TFs would be pretty weird.

Noun of our characters have ever been in the city of heroes comic alongside  statesman, war witch, or apex so that's why

and there is no reason he can't be in two places at once like Ms. liberty

I take it you didn't read i said he worked with him. past tense

I believe the original mention of Statesman was to give him as an example of popular heroes, not to say he should be (re)added as an NPC.

Actually, there were several times cameos were offered to the community. So, yes, some of our characters *have* been in the COH comics alongside various members of the Freedom Phalanx.  Here's one of mine, along with several others. The rest of the Phalanx were indeed around a few panels back.

Adding link to where that archive is for anyone interested.

Oh didn't know that. That's cool

 

Can someone continue the comic so others can have their character in it?????

Perhaps as a free comic and not one for money. Plus it'd open up a forum fire unseen of.

Anyway, Castle deserved to be moved because he was a dev-insert and the dev ruined PVP. Or so I heard.
Incandescent works where she's at until vague future comes to pass.
 

[Super Atom]

Castle is lucky he gets to be anywhere at all.

 

Statesman's death storyline was ass, but the ultimate goal was to bring him back as Tyrant instead, so I'd rather leave that option open for homecoming to explore than bring back a hero we didn't see much just to stand there and do fuck all.

 

Still happy the old LRSF got added in so we can fight him. 🙂 

[Greycat]

Others *have* done "comics" of their characters and others, so ... they're not "official," obviously, and HC couldn't do that (not owning the IP.) Nothing but time stopping you from doing your own, for tha tmatter.  (And COH stories have spun off elsewhere - Mercedes Lackey (of Valdemar fame, among others) based some stories off her COH SG, as I recall, and Paige Orwin had two books published (The Interminables and Immortal Architects) starring at least two characters she and a friend had in COH - just spinning them off into their own world. ) I'm sure there are others. (The key being they're *not* using COH, they're not set in Paragon, etc. there, so NC didn't care.)

 

In the official runs the chances were fairly few and far between (and, yeah, kind of had to be a hardcore forumite or really pay attention to know they were offered, as I recall,) and they could only fit so many in.  And yeah, unless NC gets a massive change of heart and just opens up the IP and gives rights to someone to do so (and they want to go through the expense,) there won't be another official comic.

I'm sure Dr Vahzilok will be able to get him looking great!  With the helmet on you'll hardly be able to tell there's anything wrong.

[KingCeddd03]

but really when are they going to add them? they have been missing for some time now

[Rudra]

Thunderclap, as opposed to the Thunder Clap power, is a background hero. There is literally nothing about him other than he lived in Florida, moved to Paragon City to help rebuild, and briefly teamed up with War Witch and Apex.

How is he a famous hero and why should anything be done with him?

Never? They aren't exactly scrambling to put some random forum person's ideas into the game.
